Officers were called to the incident around 1:30 p.m. on Sept. 10. Police allege a woman in her twenties, who was a passenger on the bus, had her phone grabbed from her. Officers added that when she tried to get it back, she was assaulted.
The suspect got off the bus by McPhillips Street and Burrows Avenue.
The woman was taken to hospital and treated for injuries.
Police released surveillance images of the suspect, who they describe as a man in his 30s with a medium build.
Officers ask anyone with information to contact 204-986-6219 or Crime Stoppers at 204-786-TIPS.
